Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
it's big and it's all on white fruit jams and vanilla, with herbs in the background. Quinces, plums and Williams pears (as jam or dried) plus a little patchouli, green tea and sweetened horseradish. Also obvious whiffs of Virgina tobacco (unlit Camels). With water: super. Hay and 'clean cow stable'
restaurant Palate
starts just like it was on the nose plus some oranges and tangerines, but gets then rather spicier. Fresh and 'nervous' spices such as fresh ginger, green cardamom… This is excellent I must say because this baby doesn't display any dullish vanilla. Also strawberries. With water: keeps going on with the same notes. Swims like a champ!
timer Finish
rather long, fresh, jammy and honeyed
